Chinese medicine patch is a method of clinical Chinese medicine treatment. The content of Chinese medicine patch is determined according to the type of disease. Different diseases require different patch methods and content. Currently, the most common clinical methods are Chinese herbal patch, plaster patch, and Chinese medicine water patch. Chinese medicine patch has a certain effect on the treatment of diseases in clinical practice, but it is not recommended as the main method of treating diseases in clinical practice. Conventional Chinese medicine or Western medicine is still needed for the treatment of diseases to achieve the expected therapeutic effect. Regarding what kind of Chinese medicine to use for diarrhea in children, and what discomfort symptoms will occur during the patch, we specially invited Li Yanxin, the attending physician of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to give us a special interpretation.

What Chinese medicine can be used to apply to children with diarrhea?

Children with diarrhea can use Chinese medicine patch treatment. Patches usually choose Chinese medicine with antidiarrhea, dehumidification and astringent effects, such as Yulin Atractylodes macrocephala and Atractylodes macrocephala, which have the effects of strengthening the spleen, dehumidification and antidiarrhea. In order to enhance the astringent effect, pomegranate peel can also be added, ground into powder and mixed into the medicine, which can play the role of astringency and antidiarrhea.

What discomfort symptoms will occur when applying the patch?

Because children's skin is delicate and many children with asthma have allergic constitutions, the discomfort symptoms during application are mainly manifested as allergic reactions. There are two specific reasons: 1. Long-term application of the drug irritates the skin; 2. The adhesive tape covers the skin for a long time, making the skin airtight and causing allergic reactions. These two are side effects of the patch.

Chinese medicine patches are used to treat diarrhea in children, which has the characteristics of good therapeutic effect and few side effects. The types of Chinese medicine commonly used in clinical practice are mainly antidiarrheal and anti-dampness drugs. If the patient's digestive function is impaired, drugs that strengthen the spleen and stomach can also be added. After a certain treatment cycle of patches, small changes will occur in symptoms. If the symptoms do not change significantly, it is clinically recommended to stop the application of Chinese medicine patches in time and use other methods for further treatment. There are certain safety hazards in the application of Chinese medicine patches, mainly the temperature during the application, which may cause damage to the child's skin. In addition, during the application of Chinese medicine patches, it is necessary to prevent children from scratching or accidentally ingesting the dressings of the Chinese medicine patches, which may endanger the life and health of children.
